Here is my method and tools for
measuring, comparing and selecting, Bullets,cases and for setting up
bullet seating for over all length of Cartridges of the selected
bullets . Over all length is a subjective measurement, either by
measuring from the tip of the seated bullet to the base, or from the
Ogive to the base, the latter being the most accurate.
Pictured are the tools that I use to
perform these measurements.
Setup for measuring and
comparing bullets and Dial indicator set which includes one .001”
and one.0005” dial indicators. Approximate price for
the set is $57.00 from Amazon.
The set up shown is for
comparing and selecting bullets by Ogive length. The bullet is
placed in the precision comparator nut. the comparator nut has holes
on each flat for different calibers price was $15.00 from Sinclair.
Ogive over all cartridge comparison is accomplished with the same
set up. Case comparison measurements are done without the nut. I
found this setup has sped up selection of components and has in
creased the accuracy.
